Buchanan Castle Golf Course, Strathclyde in Scotland

Situated on a ridge in Buchanan Castle Estate stands the ruins of a
baronial castle with its turrets and stepped gables. The castle lies in
a heavily forested residential estate with every tree native to Western
Europe. Below the ridge lies a flat plain, sliced through by the wandering
oxbows of the Endrick Water.
To the east and south is the great slab of the Campsie Hills. To the
west and north west, there is the beginning of the Highlands and the magical
mountains of Arthur, Vane, Vorlich, Lui and Ben Lomond itself. Amidst
this scenic splendour is found one of the least known gems of Scottish
golf, Buchanan Castle Golf Club.
The course, designed by James Braid, lies on the plain of the Endrick,
less than one mile from Loch Lomond and it is a delight, in spite of the
fact that in Scottish golfing terms it is a relative newcomer dating from
1936.
The clubhouse was built on the site of the ancient Buchanan House, home
of the Buchanan family which had held lands on Loch Lomondside since the
13th century.
